Hey everyone, and welcome to another bit of WoW History! Every week, we look down at important events that happened in WoW (or Blizzard!) for that week.\r\rOne of the major Legion secret mounts was found, Hearthstone made its mobile debut, Ulduar has been released with Patch 3.1, and we see some Burning Crusade enemies with the Bestiary!\r\rLet's go, then!\r\r\r2017\rApril 11, 2017\r\rThe second secret mount of Legion has been discovered by the Secret Finding Community Discord on this day! The Ver énigmatique de l’esprit, as its own name says, required travelling all around Azeroth in search of solutions to mysterious riddles that were based on the first volume of Warcraft: Chronicle.\r\r\r\rOther hidden secrets in Legion include Kosumoth l’Affamé and the Griffe affamée\/Créature des grands fonds, the Jeune fée du soleil and the Cauchemar lucide. \r\rTo obtain this mount, follow this comment guide by Nightswifty, and if you wanna learn more about how each clue was solved, check the Riddle Me This Mount guide by Purgatorywolf!\r\rAnd check out when this was reported!\r\r2015\rApril 14, 2015\r\rNot necessarily WoW news on this one, but still WoW related: Hearthstone is now available on mobile!

Highlights include:\r\r\rNew Raid - Ulduar: Since the discovery of the Titan facility of Ulduar in Les pics Foudroyés, adventurers have journeyed there to find more about its purpose. It was discovered that the complex is above all, a prison to attempt to contain the Old God of death, Yogg-Saron. This ancient creature has corrupted its jailors and is breaking through its last restraints. Even a great victory over the horrors of this raid may not be enough to overcome the madness.\rThe Argent Tournament has begun! As the Scourge wanes under the pressure of Azeroth's seasoned heroes, the Argent Crusade managed to establish a foothold in the Lich King's backyard, La Couronne de glace. The Argent Tournament calls for adventurers from all over Azeroth to fight and prepare for the inevitable battle against the Lich King.\rDual Talent Specialization: This patch marks the first incarnation of the Dual Talent Specialization, a system that allows you to swap between 2 specs at free will. It eventually evolved into what we have to today, which is total freedom to swap talents at will as long as you are in a rest area.\rBattleground Queueing: You can now queue to Battlegrounds anywhere in the world! With a queue mode added to the interface, you are no longer required to go to a capital city to get in some PvP action.\r\r\rBelow you can also see the Secrets of Ulduar trailer:\r\r\r\r2006\rApril 10, 2006\r\rBlizzard released its first preview of creatures that would be encountered in the Burning Crusade, with the release of the Burning Crusade Bestiary! The first creatures that did receive highlights were the Ethereals, Fleshbeasts, Forest Trolls and Gronn.\r\r \r\rFor more details, check out this first version of the Burning Crusade Bestiary!\r\rThe Ver énigmatique de l’esprit search was my first interaction with the Secret Finding discord. As someone who has always had a penchant for finding secrets (I still circle the oceans of Legion with my from time to time to find something new!), it was a match made in heaven. Finding those hidden things is always a blast, and hope to see more in Battle for Azeroth. And what can we say about Ulduar? Only one of, if not the best raid of all time. I miss having to activate hardmodes (although I don't miss accidently pressing Mimiron's red button!\r\rDo you like looking for secrets in WoW or any other games? How much have you enjoyed Hearthstone on mobile? Do you have any Ulduar stories to share with us?\r\rLet us know in the comments, and see you next week!

Wow! It doesn't seem like a year since I spent around an hour and a half in Kun Lai Summit struggling to get the next clue! :D

Wait. The argent tournament begun at the same time as Ulduar? Wasn't it the patch after that?

Yes, you even had some special rewards ( a tabard which teleported you to the tournament amongst others) for participating in the first step of the tournament.

Oh Ulduar, my first raiding experience... what a great time I had!Also definitely need to do those secret mounts one of those days...

Heh Ulduar will always hold a special place with me. First time I let a raid for a meta ach (granted it was when ICC came out but to be fair I started around then lol). Also, holds a bitter place in my heart because that #$%@ing head won't drop for me.
